Equipment

  • 1 Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 16 oz frozen vegetables any variety

Instructions

  • Pour the water into an Instant Pot and add a steamer basket. Add the frozen vegetables (straight from the freezer is fine!). If you don’t have a steamer basket, add the veggies straight into the liquid and stir.
  • Make sure the vent is set to Sealing. Place the cover on the pot and set the timer to 0 minutes on high pressure (pressure cook setting). It will take the IP around 10 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.
  • When cooking time is done, do a quick release. Let the float valve drop and remove the cover.
  • Remove the steamer basket from the pot and add to a serving dish.
  • Top with lemon juice, salt and pepper or whichever toppings you prefer! Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For firmer vegetables, remove a minute earlier by manually stopping the Instant Pot during pressurization.
  • For softer vegetables, leave the lid on for 1-2 minutes after pressurization time ends.
  • Works with any frozen vegetable or vegetable blend. No need to thaw.
